Students in the two sections of 8th English taught by Susan Davis/Stephen Vrla and Shelby Cherin have created pages that interpret the poems from Edgar Lee Masters's famous anthology in two ways: first, they conduct a formal character analysis of one of the personae represented in the collection; second, they interpret the poem of that character in a dramatic reading of the poem. This project was completed by students at Chinquapin Preparatory School in November 2011.
Students in this course will document their reading progress over the course of the semester. They will also use this wiki as a resource for sharing reading selections, for asking questions of their peers, and for supporting each other in becoming more successful college-bound readers.
Each page should include the following sections, with dated commentaries that engage with the material and invite the engagement of other readers in some way:
What I'm Reading Now What I've Read What I'm Thinking About
Students are encouraged to pursue discussions on the "discussion" tab on each page. You will be considered a successful reader if you learn from your reading, encourage and support others in their reading, and improve in your reading comprehension skills by the end of the semester.
Goal: 10 articles or one book by the end of each quarter
Editorial pages have been added. Please include links so that other students can pursue reading on these subjects!
